Thank You to Roy McMurtry

We express our deepest thanks to Roy McMurtry for his stellar commitment to the Foundation and to the grassroots organizations in Africa.

Roy McMurtry served on the Foundation’s Executive Board from June 2007-2011. His wisdom, garnered over decades as an Ontario cabinet minister and then Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Appeal, was not only invaluable but always offered up with warmth and humour.

Roy has made hugely significant contributions to marginalized people, race relations, higher education and justice for youth. We were fortunate to benefit from his commitment to social justice through his work on our Executive. The Board, its members, executive and the staff of the Foundation will miss his active presence but will continue to cherish his association with the Foundation as a friend and advisor.
